-The Democrats and People's party
have fused in South Dakota. Accord
ing to the terms agreed upon each
party is to have two Presidential
electors. In the election of 1890
the Alliance polled 24,591 votes, the
Democrats" 18,484 and the Republi
cens 34487, which" would give the
combination if it works 8,585 ma
jority. There have probably been
some changes since then but the
prospects of the fusion taking the
State from Harrison are pretty good.

GEORGE WILSON'S BIG SHOW.

; Better Stars and More

Than Ever Before.
i
At last the favorite George Wilson and
his superb coVpany of minstrels come
to answer the amusement of the great
comedian's host of friends and admirers
in this vicinity. The new bis company.
with the only Wilson at . the. head," will
appear: here at the Opera House on next
Thursday night, September 29th. When
speaking of Mr. Wilson it I has become
the custom of the press to mention him
as an old friend. This is not at all aston
ishing when his long successful career
fs considered.-. He is now regarded
the star of stars, and no other performer
in his line even dares to hint at putting
his name in justa-position with that 'of
the great and only George Wilson. The
company, collectively and individually,
includes many of the most prominent
comedians, vocalists, song and dance ex
perts, musicians, special artists and bur-
lesquers of the country, comprising in
one grand organization ail that is pre
eminent and ultra gorgeous in the vast
realms of minstrels. At least it is re
garded; by newspaper critics as a little
the biggest show that Mr. Wilson ever
put out. )

A SWINDLING SCHEME.
New York'. Sharper Trying to Take
Advantage " of "People i Who 'Believe
Themselres to be Heira to Property
in England! ;":.: .'
Quite a number of farmers from'; Pen
der and other counties in this State have
been a calling - upon M rV-, fames Spr u nt,
British Vice Consul, recently, with refer
ence to alleged enormous estates which
had been left .them- in. England. . Two
gentlemen from Pender .county; last
week brought " certificates ; to ; the effect
that for one had already been "secured
12,000.000 and another $1,000,000 It
was only necessary, it was said, to com
plete some legal paper in order that
they might enter . upon their estates.
Forms' with legal headings,' etc.; were
sent enclosed with signatures, and a re
quest also made for 435 in each .case in
order to pay the taxes necessary on the
papers. .:. Mr.; Sprunt pronounced these
stateme nts to be false beyond any ques
tion, and informed the gentlemen from
the country that they were no doubt be-;
ing swindled by adventurers, i : . '
The name' of the New .York agent of
the i London alleged attorney was given
as Joseph Leger. and the address in
New York as the Dominion: Agency,
No. 451 Eighth Avenue. '. The vice-con
sul wrote at once to New York to inves
tigate the matter, and received the fol
lowing clipping from the Daily Tribune
of last Friday. In the meantime , the
alleged lawyers , in London are be
ing overhauled and doubtless with the
same - result, it is believed : that a
number of people in this State
have ben swindled " already, hav
ing forwarded money without consult
ing proper advisers. 1 v
The following is the extract from the
Tribune- "''' '"'
A petty swindling scheme, based on
the usual mythical estate in England,
has been nipped in the bud by postoffice
and police omciais. lnis time money
was not asked to carry on litigation for
the vast property, but to pay taxes on
the land which had already been award
ed to the dupe. The swindler in this
case is Joseph Leger, who some time
ago established the Dominion Employ
ment Agency, at No. 451 Lighth avenue.
A man who gave his name as Harris
rented part of the second floor of the.
bouse, but Harris and Leger are un
doubtedly one.
Last week the man sent a number of
his letters all over the country, appar
ently to persons wbo believed them
selves to be heirs to English estates.. He
sent in the letters decrees of the Su
preme Court, Chancery, London, bearing
the Court seal and the stamp G. W.
Rawlings, tax assessor The letter in
one instance read: 1
1 inclose the decree in your case,
which . establishes your title. Please
send the $35 by registered letter,' not by
bank check, as it would require time to
get it cashed, and I must report at once.
There is only one other way to collect
the tax, which would be by selling the
property tortaxes. Use inclosed en
velope. ; . - - 1 - .
Leger pretended to represent the Brit
ish Government. Evidently, a lot ot let
ters were sent out last week, for on Wed
nesday, replies began to come in. Over
sixty arrived on that : day. two of them
registered. . In the meantime, inquiries
about tbe trustworthiness of Leger reach'
ed the police, the postoffice and the Tri
bune. The superintendent of Station E
ot the postoffice at Seventh avenue and
Twenty-eighth street, made an invest!
gation and reported to Acting Assistant
Postmaster L. V. Morgan. Leger s mail
was at once stopped and the case was re
ported to Washington. , I

A PREACHER IN TROUBLE.
Bev. G-. Iv Stiui (Colored) Arres'ted for
Embezzlement His ; Escape While Un
der BonoU. r. y- i..-.. . . - -
Rev." G..L. .Stith, colored, pastor of
Shiloh Baptist Church of this city has
disappeared under a very dark cloud.
Stlth was arrested last Friday night on
affidavit of A. W. Wright, colored.
charged with embezzling $23 ; from the
latter. He was required to give bond
in the sura of $100 for his appear
ance Monday (yesterday) morning at
9 o'clock before ' Justice R. H. Bunt
ing. Hampton Saunders, a well
known colped man, signed the bond
and became surety for Stith. but when
the case was called by the magistrate
yesterday the parson tailed to appear and
could not be found, while current rumor
had it that he had "got up and dusted.f
Judgment was thereupon given for the
amount against the surety, Saunders,
and execution issued against his property.-
I - :- ' r- j
Stith preached to his congregation at
Shiloh Church last Sunday night. At 9
o'clock, his wile says, he was at home,
and the last she saw of him he went into
his "study" with some of the deacons of
the church.
The parson was something of a finan
cier as well as preacher. He had been
in the employ of the "Fidelity Build
ing and Loan Association," (which
has an agency in Wilmington)
as solicitor , and collector, and
report says had been quite successful. A
few months ago, however, he was found
"short in bis accounts," and was dis
charged by his employers; but, it is al
leged, he continued to make collections
in the namej of the Association. To
straighten up his affairs with the Fidel
ity Company, it is said he gave a mort
gage on his ; "library" and inveigled a
colored woman of his flock into giving a
mortgage on her house for the same pur
pose. i he v ldehty Company swooped
down on.his library and other household
goods last evening.
The parson owned a horse and dray
which, it is said, he has mortgaged to a
number of persons to Mr. J. M. Walker
for $43, to Tom Miller for $100, and to
another party for 150.
Killarney and the Bhine. '
A fair audience was present at the
Opera House last night to witness the
rendition of the play "Killarney and the
Rhine." !
It is somewhat on the comedy drama
order, and Mr. Toole as Conrad Rosen
Vonwinklesnofc, the German comedian,
made fun for the boys in a huge way.
Miss Minnie Jarboe with her songs
was very attractive, and Leone Dunham
as May Connel displayed skill as an ac
tress. While the play is one of the
catchy kind it passed off very nicely
and tbe fun was really enjoyed by
all until the third act. when the
Colonel came on, who didn t seem to
have a popular part and was not ad
mired by the! audience. Some boys in
tbe galleries laughed rather loud, which
was taken for a hiss and the house
joined in. :The policy were ordered
aloft and quiet was restored, when the
play proceeded to the finish. :

John C. Davis in Baleigh.
Several gentlemen who have visited
Raleigh recently say that John C. Davis,
the noted swindler, was seen by them
prowling around the streets of that city.
A lawyer of Wilmington, who was in
Raleigh when Gen. Stevenson was there,
met Davis sauntering down one of the
principal streets. He stopped Davis,
shook hands with him and asked him
about some of the Wilmington people.
Davis didn t recognize his questioner,
and didn't seem to know anything about
anybody here. Another gentleman saw
him in church last Sunday night in Ral
eigh and said he seemed to be very
happy and was singing "for all he was
worth." This man - should not be al
lowed to stroll around the streets of
Raleigh alone, as he will have to be
brought back to Wilmington and tried
for the charges which now appear on
record in the court house here against
him if he recovers from the attack of in
sanity which developed as soon as his
rascality was exposed.
